Mise en scene - Include a good choice of costume, however less predictable locations would have been a better idea. The alarm was a good prop and also using the mobile phone to contrast the two classes.

Your opening sequence analysis need to be more detailed and they also need to include clips. Your blog needs some more visuals regarding the specific films that influence you.

It is difficult to analyse the soundtracks of British social realist films as they are all very different. This is England has quite a lively, loud soundtrack it is reggae based and is not really the same genre as the film. Football Factory's opening music is quite jumpy and again doesn't really fit. The soundtrack is going to have a really deliberate change in it. First the track will include a melody and very little bass while the first character is introduced. But then after the change between characters the music will change as well to more of a street style track with more of a beat in it. This will also show the huge change between the class's of the characters.

At first we thought that we would produce a Children Adventure sequence, but then we changed to British Social Realism as we think we would be able to produce this better and have more ideas.

The pulp fiction opening sequence starts with a large surprise to the viewer as a couple appear to be having a romantic afternoon in a cafe and suddenly both jump up declaring they are robbing the café. The scene then freezes on the man and woman pointing their guns. I think this is done to show the anger on the woman’s face and how she is determined for success. The music (pump it) then kicks in, showing the credits in a bright font which contrasts with the lack background. These title credits are simple so the viewer focuses on the busy fast music which is building up the suspense and telling the story of what is happening. The credits change position and transitions regularly, i think this is to keep the viewer interested due to the intro credits being quite long, the music also helps to achieve this. The long credits helps to build the suspense as the viewer is waiting longer and longer to find out what happens in the robbery.
The camerawork is steady and still when the man and woman are sitting at the table and as soon as the equilibrium is broken (start of robbery) the camera zooms up to follow the man who has just stood on top of the seat. However there is not much camera work at all in the opening sequence due to such a short amount of footage.
The editing is minimal because there is only one shot before the titles.
The mise-en-scene is suggestive of a usual environment, both characters are dressed like normal people, acting normal in a normal location. This makes the viewer feel comfortable and un-suspecting before the equilibrium is broken.
The sound is the main part in this sequence.

These films have common story lines such as; an outlaw fighting for justice or the search for something lost for example the Indiana Jones films. The children's adventure film's all contain the same concept as the adventure film except with content that would not be deemed unsuitable for children. Most of these films are rated U and PG but there are some exceptions such as Star Wars Episode 3 and Harry Potter The Order Of The Phoenix wich both recieved 12A ratings.
